Grilled Corn Summer Breakfast Hash.

If you come to my house and do some of the things I accidentally on purpose neglect… like wipe out the shelves in my fridge after spilling a half cup of cornstarch on them (it happens) and dust things like every single crevice in the house and throw away old magazines with the promise of losing 8 pounds in 3 days and maybe… maybe even clean the hair out from my shower drain (?)… I will totally love you forever.

And also make you breakfast. Because I know… that whole drain thing is skeevy.

Some days I’ll make you pancakes and others I may make you muffins. And on the occasion that we drank four too many mojitos during the best sleepover ever the night before, I may just serve you a piece of stale cake (I’m really bad at the whole saran wrap thing) and then go back to bed until dusk. I’m sure you’ll understand.

If I have time, which let’s face it: I always have time for food, I’ll even make you this whole slop pile mess of potatoes, bacon, zucchini and leftover grilled corn… cut off the cob from our dinner before the best sleepover ever. It’s reallllllly spectacular. Frying things in cast iron skillets makes them 34 times more delicious. Now you know. Life lesson #145.

The thing about breakfast is that… ding ding – it works for dinner too! So if your schedule doesn’t jive with mine? If you can’t make it over first thing in the early morn to scrub my bathroom floor with a toothbrush (yeah seriously)… you can come later and eat this for dinner. See? I always have my thinking cap on.

Especially when I grill corn for dinner. I’m always thinking. Always thinking enough to grill three or four extra ears because nothing is as scrumptious on your lunchtime salads, burritos, hashes and pizza than caramely kernels that take less than 30 seconds to heat. Mmmm mmm.

I promise this hash (not that hash) will make up for the cobwebs you’ll find in the corners and the mildew you’ll find on just about, well… everything.

It’s chock full of crispy potatoes and soft, sweet and juicy peppers and onions. Some zucchini is in there too because… it’s summer! Have you heard? And obviously the caramely kernels are the best part because who doesn’t like vegetables that taste like candy?

I’ll top it with an egg because you deserve it. Mimosa on the side too.

Directions:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chopped bacon and cook until crispy and fat is rendered - about 4-5 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Add potatoes with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bacon fat and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring and tossing every few minutes. While potatoes are cooking, heat another skillet on medium high and cook your eggs as desired, then set aside over low heat.

Add peppers and onions (and another little sprinkle of salt and pepper) to potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring. At this time you may need to add the additional teaspoon of olive oil depending on how much bacon fat is left. After 5 minutes, add in the zucchini and garlic and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring. Turn off heat, then stir in grilled corn and bacon. Top with sliced green onions. Serve with an egg on top.

Note: I haven't tried it yet but I'm assuming you could possibly pan-roast your corn before frying the bacon. Also, you can use any kind of corn, though the caramelized kernels are the best!

I love the idea that this can work for any meal of the day. I would also come clean for you for some of this, some cupcakes and a couple of mojitos!

This hash looks amazing! I don’t often eat eggs for breakfast… but like you said, bfast foods are fair game for dinner ;). Corn is one of the summer veggies that I miss the most during the cold months, so I need to make this before fall comes.

done deal…except maybe the shoe closet. you can do that one and i’ll make you breakfast then :)

Life lesson #146: Always sleep over at jessica’s!

Looks fabulous…as always. I am a terrible cleaner! Terrible. I don’t mind the service type cleaning…you know the one that makes you house appear clean? It is the deep clean that just sucks the life out of me.

Woman you never cease to amaze me!
I have a serious case of insomnia. It’s 5am. I haven’t slept and now all I can think about is this hash and those perfect looking eggs!

Cleaning and organizing the house/shoe closet of a cooking & baking goddess? Sign me up. I’m all over that. It will be like a super intensive therapy session with meditation at the end.. and I need it!

Hahahah you are too sweet!

Looks delish! How did you get those eggs so perfect? They’re gorgeous!

Thanks girl! We have an electric skillet that we always use for breakfast food – pancakes, bacon, etc, and I just cook them on there with the temp at about 200 degrees. It takes a little while longer but they look pretty for the pictures.

Yumm I love breakfast for dinner!! How do you get your photos of scrambled things to look so good?! Mine just look like a mess – probably because I insist on smothering everything in salsa. :P Great recipe Jess!

I’m not so good at the cleaning thing either, but mimosas and this breakfast could convert me. Or we could just hire Merry Maids and watch reruns of Full House and Boy Meets World instead. Grilled corn is my LIFE in the summer!

I go in spurts… one day it’s top-to-bottom full-on clean fest here… then others it looks like a bomb exploded and I could care less… especially in the kitchen! This hash is on my “To Make” this upcoming week! LoVe It!

Wait, wait, wait. IT’S SUMMER!?!? When did this happen!? ;)

That looks incredible and I hereby officially invite you to come to my house ANY TIME you want to and cook it :D

MAMA. Seriously, BFD (breakfast for dinner) is my FAVORITE. I actually should have just typed out “breakfast for dinner” instead of the whole “BFD” thing because I ended up having to explain it anyway.

Sorry.

I’m glad you have cobwebs, too. And I love this meal. And it needs to be in my face right this moment.

I have everything I need to make this! I think it would be a huge hit for dinner, too! Can’t wait to make it!

This looks mighty yummy! Awesome recipe. I have eggs to use!

Yummers! Wish I could eggs like that but not until after the baby. I made my own hash this morning before gnawing my hubby’s arm from being so hungry! LOL Scrambles eggs, onions, orange bell pepper, black beans, tomatoes, with a little cajun seasoning and a little cheese with some white flour tortillas. Ahhhhhh, so good. the Baby was happy too!

I am all in for that mojito slumber party and THIS for breakfast, not the stale cake, but I would understand. ;-)
Love the pics.,Jessica, the colors are great!

How perfectly cooked are these eggs?! I love the idea of corn hash!

Ahhh, the most perfect sunny side up egg!! I need to buy 1 non-stick pan for egg cooking. The stainless work okay, but they always look just a tad mangled. :) You were so right…this definitely is up my alley. Lovely colors!
